Going for the Ball
A fifty five-year-old Scottish man was, according to Friday’s South China Morning Post, found in a public park in Ho Man Tin wearing a mini skirt, silk stockings, high heels and make-up. He was also padlocked and chained to a park bench. “A friend did it for fun.” he said as he was arrested for not being able to show any ID. He was later released.
It was the only interesting story in the main part of the paper but the sports section reminded me of why I was here; the annual Hong Kong Rugby Sevens. With that in mind the only question left, with regards to the Scotsman was; What the hell was he doing in Ho Man Tin? That’s miles from the stadium.
The fact that he was dressed as an East European hooker was not in the least surprising. Some cities have carnivals or Mardi Gras, Hong Kong has ‘The Sevens’.
The fun kicks of on Friday when big teams, such as the mighty All Blacks, marmalise the little teams such as Taiwan (50-5 … in less than 15 minutes). By Sunday a pecking order will have been established, big teams will play big teams and both men and women will be dressed as East European hookers, nurses, French maids, American politicians, Osama bin Ladens, pink panthers and Bananas.
They will be drinking beer and partying like the world is going to end. Before them large muscular men in tight shirts and shorts will be throwing each other in the mud, squabbling over a ball.
In the evenings the bars in the Filthy Acre will be overflowing.
New Zealand beat South Africa 26-12 in the final.
